Siuralta Orange 2021

Wine Description for Siuralta Orange 2021 by Vins Nus

Colour & Appearance

Hazy orange-gold with sparkling inclusions – a natural wine that makes no attempt to hide its artisanal origins.

Nose

Initially displaying a distinct reduction with gunpowder and mineral notes, which quickly give way to oxidative aromas of Tarte Tatin, caramelised quince and oven-warm apples. Shortcrust pastry and bread crust lend depth, whilst orange blossom and freshly pressed orange juice create a fascinating interplay between coolness and warmth. Roasted almonds, mango and ripe banana bring exotic fruit richness, underpinned by a cool, chalky mineral character.

Palate

Grippy and taut on the attack – this completely fermented orange wine deliberately challenges. With a narrow waist, it balances between austere structure and vibrant fruit, reminiscent of a refreshing apple juice spritzer in the best sense. Wilder and more expressive than the nose suggests, it gains considerably in drinkability and spirit after aeration. An accessible, unpretentious introduction to the world of skin-contact white wines.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Grenache Gris from Montsant, skin-fermented in orange wine style. With moderate 12.5% alcohol, the wine shows refreshing and light-footed character. The reduction notes at the outset are typical of natural vinification – decanting for aeration is strongly recommended.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Its grippiness and structure make it an ideal companion for linguine with lemon cream sauce and herb oyster mushrooms, pan-fried prawns with curry aioli or a fennel and orange salad with pistachios. The tannin structure also pairs well with bolder flavours and spicy dishes.

Special Features

An honest, artisanally produced orange wine from Vins Nus that dances between worlds – light and shadow, classical and wild. Perfect for the curious who wish to discover the world of skin-contact white wines without being overwhelmed by extreme oxidative notes.
